The best damn Reuben ever

I decided on a last second stop here and IT WAS WORTH IT. The best damn Reuben sandwich I’ve ever had. The ingredients mix perfectly together and the thousand island dressing is incredible. I wish they had a location in nj or nyc! They would fit right in. Hope to be back again on my travels someday. So stop by! You’ll be glad you did! Yuuummmmm 😍

Pros: Quiet location, plenty of seating, Gorgeous interior with bar seating, Great service and delicious food

Cons: The menu is not huge but you’ll find something!

Delicious!

Curb side pickup currently. Food was actually really good. The wings had a lovely crisp outside, and everything had good flavor and juiciness.

Pros: Friendly service, Quick 20 min order to pickup, Tasty spread

OG Iowa City Vegan Food

Trumpet Blossom is (currently) the only entirely vegan restaurant in the Iowa City area, and is truly a veg safe place. I tell all my friends that TB has the best fries in Iowa City, and I could drink the maple cayenne aioli that they’re served with. They do rotating specials on the weekends, so make sure you ask your server about them because I’ve had some fantastic dishes (the breaded mushroom/mashed potato burrito stands out the most for sure). They do some sandwich recreations with a vegan BLT and Reuben, but also have plenty of other pasta, salad, soup, and app options. The cocktail/drink menu is also definitely worth checking out! I still order from here several times a week, and I’ve never been disappointed!

Delicious and comfortable

I was so glad to find this on Happy cow - a quick walk from the hotel I was staying at! The vibe inside is welcoming and comfortable. The server was very friendly. Loved both the fettuccine Alfredo (so many delish local veg in it) and my partner had the meatballs which were tasty too. We finished off with an apple crumble! 10/10!!

Excellent!

Homemade bread, fresh, local ingedients. So glad I found it on HC while on a road trip through Iowa. Kinda sad it's 3.5 hours from where I live.

Pros: 100% Vegan, organic and local ingredients.

Cons: Can't think of anything.

Not what I asked for

I was so excited to eat here for the first time. I got the seitan reuben to go 05/07 and asked specifically for no onions. After my 45 minute ride home I saw that there were onions on both sandwiches. UGH $30 worth of food wasted. So upsetting.

My Favorite Vegan Restaurant

I haven't found a place across the U.S. that holds a candle to this restaurant. It's nice to be able to come home to the Midwest and have vegan comfort food waiting at Trumpet Blossom Cafe! Their staff is always personable, there are lots of underground music events if you're into that scene, and occasional film screenings on a projector. All around a cool scene, vegan af.

Pros: Reuben, Reuben, Reuben, Friendly Staff & Environment, Amazing tasting food

Vegan Find

Cozy restaurant with a nice dinner menu. Lots of options and soup de jour. I opted for the Reuben as it’s one of their more popular cant miss items. Added a half sweet potato fries/ French fries as my side
The sandwich was delicious. Lots of flavor. Crunchy bread. A bit greasy but I’m into that! And the French fries were heavenly! Loved the aioli dipping sauce too!
Order the Apple crumble over the orange cake for dessert yummmmy
Super sweet staff working there too. Will be back before I leave

Pros: Lots of choices. , Cool place for friends to hang out /drinks , Dessert choices

Cons: Parking can be a challenge in the day

LOVE

I’ve been trying to come here for a while but I live out of town. Today my husband and I came and I’m in love! I got the BLT and my husband got the Reuben with sweet potato fries and for dessert we shared a vanilla cake with sweet potato icing with black berry drizzle. The atmosphere of the place is pleasant and fun. Beautiful place! Absolutely recommend!

Pros: Lots of options, Love the atmosphere, Delicious food

Cons: None

Good, but needs better flavors

It's a great option for vegans! I had brunch once and went for dinner and got the special for dinner another time. My main takeaway is that the food is good, but the flavor left me wanting more. They have plenty of options, but not an overwhelming number. Their cocktails were AMAZING and I don't say that lightly.

Pros: Cocktails, Options, Filling

Cons: A big pricey, More flavor

So amazing

This is true, hand-crafted vegan food that tastes delicious and doesn't seem to have fake/processed ingredients. Have been for dinner and brunch - both fantastic. Back patio is lovely with a green canopy and river noises - rather than street sounds and traffic. Have not seen a live music show here yet, but am looking forward to it!

Pros: Fresh hand-crafted food, Great interior design and feel, Excellent patio

Cons: A bit pricey

A Gem!

Was visiting Iowa City and stopped here for dinner. Arrived during happy hour and was provided a happy hour menu with many options. Since I have a vegan nacho problem, I ordered those and wasn't disappointed! The perfect portion- and the cashew cheese was delicious. They were out of jalapeños so substituted spicy pickles zucchini which was delicious. I had a glass of Cabernet with my nachos, and left a happy person. My partner ordered the reuben platter and loved it- with sweet potato fries.

Pros: full bar, adorable cloth napkins, several dessert options
